Week Thirteen Notes

Peer Collaboration memo due on Nov. 29. Please email it to me at royerd at gvsu edu and it would help if you put 351 somewhere in the subject line.

Tonight we will of course be doing our oral presentations of website analysis.

I'll likely have a few other items on our agenda.

There is no need to do a reading response (blog) for tonight.

By now you should be very comfortable with the following items on the progress checklist. Indeed, your drupal site should make uses of the following technical skills. Progress checklist:

1. Create a menu, enable the block, specify a region where the block should appear.
2. Create a block with some content--use regular text or HTML in that block area--and then enable the block and define a region where that block should appear.
3. Take the block created in number 1 or 2 and make it context sensitive so it appears on some pages and not others.
4. Understand the nature of a "view" and create a blog style view for a certain kind of content type.
5. Use inline CSS to add style to HTML tags
6. Create hyperlinks using HTML
7. Use the file upload area and the IMG tag to add images to your pages
8. Understand how to resize and crop images before uploading them to your site. Don't link images from an external site.
9. Know how (and why) to create a new content type and customize that content type for the specific purpose of the content.
10. Create a vocabulary with taxonomy terms associated with it.
11. Add that vocabulary to a content type and expose the terms in the vocabulary at the top of the content when that content type is on display.
12. Expose one of your vocabularies as a drop down style filter at the top of a view so that users can select different terms to filter content in the view display of that content type.
